Agree with Bewy. You can take some of the preload out with a larger bar. That said, and not knowing what you have out back, you may look their for a solution. Many stock eliminator cars have quick rise and hit the tires hard without issue.

Forgot it was 1st round. I'm gonna be way too fast.

10.561 @ 127.95 Go get um... :thumbsup:

Gotcha...

10.xx @ 1xx.xx Pretty warm and dry conditions. Holding a spot for more info. :)

New baby may have had something to do with this......... https://www.nascar.com/news-media/2024/05/28/stewart-haas-racing-to-close-operation-at-end-of-2024-season/

With a 26'' tire at 80 your in the 4k rpm range. If it doesn't happen in 1st or 2nd gear or free revving in that area, i'd suspect it's a issue in the pumpkin. My buds 70' Cuda did the exact same thing and it was the pinion shaft/gears starting to come apart in his 4.56 geared 8.75.

That's small town livin right there. Very cool. We're just a few miles from the coast near Charleston so a lot more hectic round here.

Man, that is pretty. :thumbsup:

That sucks.

361 B block with 440 crank... 4.125 x 3.75 comes to 400.9''

Probably has a 245 head on it. Love to see the piston dome. Gotta love those willing to put that money into a Sportsman build these days.

Did that thing have a smog pump and adj. rockers...wow

I'd start at .040 if it was mine. 45 should be fine thou.

Love your work John. :thumbsup: As a complete novice on intake porting, what would happen if you shortened the dividers a bit.

Guessing it's a small tire car. How much rpm are you missing on the big end. Maybe retard the current cam a bit to knock down the hit and give a few rev's up top. Then again if you're cyl head limited, while that new cam may raise the peak power, i'm not sure you will gain much for average power...

Do you recall what gear ratio was in the car? It was a 3.23...

70' 340 Duster....Factory installed converter with stock engine other then a Hemi grind cam and 750 carb, foot braked to 2200. May have flashed a hair more.

Ok, i voted no at about 90%. Only Mopar ''car'' i have ever seen with a ''wheel hop'' issue had wore out springs/shocks and 3 or 4'' shackles. I could see someone going for a vintage look using them and maybe some uses for a truck. I had a 5spd Ram that sure could have used some help...lol.

We talkin old school Lakewood's or modern Caltrac style?

On a street/strip car you'll surely notice it in the low/mid range. It will sound better and be a lot more crisp as long as your fuel and timing can keep up.

Pretty chilly for the T&T so i'll wait for the results. Thanks for doing this. We appreciate the extra time it takes to pull off a cool contest like this. That said, concentrate on the set-up and make some nice/safe passes. Good luck this weekend.

Since yours are wrapped already, kinda a moot point. I personally don't care for it, although i did do a partial on some driver side fenderwells to keep heat away from the master cyl/brake lines.

Probably not worth the expense for anything other then a ''class specific'' car. With those rods, most are built with big heads, big comp, big roller, and turn a lot of rpm. Not that it wouldn't be fun with a 5spd and some big gears. :)

@Locomotion

How similar will the Cuda be to the drag car as far as suspension, tires and such. If their isn't a certain number you have to hit, i'd just gear it for as comfortable as the current cam,converter will allow at reasonable cruise rpm.

That's a serious cam. It just begs for a good cyl head, some compression and some 1.6 rockers. :)
